Yes, you're right. There are many options for painting this figure.

Plus the Russian Army horse artillery also wore dragoon uniforms.

Another excellent release from CHRONOS. I would really like to see them produce some Austrian cavalry of the period. No one else is doing that besides SOGA’ s two infantry figures.

Yes, we are thinking about continuing the theme of cavalry from other countries.
Now work is underway on the cavalrymen of Britain, Westphalia and Württemberg.
Well, then maybe we'll do Austria and Poland.

Ritalin? A Royal Horse Guards and a Royal Scots Greys at Waterloo would be superb. Your horses are simply the best. I am working on one currently. Keep up the excellent work. I see another order coming!

I meant Britain, not Ritalin!

This Line Dragoon officer is yet another must have from Chronos. We must be living through a golden age of modelling, I've never seen so much good stuff being released.

There's this one of course, then it looks like the Zemskov Studio Russian Dragoon will soon be available from IL Miniatures in Germany.

And to cap it all, I see that fine fellow Piersergio Allevi has a new limited edition of an Italian Cacciatori officer.

I'm not complaining but this is all a bit too much for me. I can't keep up! When am I going to find the time to do all the painting?

Undaunted, I've decided to take positive action and I'm mixing up a big batch of dark green paint in readiness. I usually use Andrea's Napoleonic Green for dark green uniforms and, while I reckon it's OK for the rank and file, the officers deserve a deeper, better quality green. I got a set of Kimera Colours for Christmas (Santa Claus lets me choose my own presents) and I'm using a Youtube "Union of Salvation" video to do the colour matching. Now, I can't understand a word of the Russian dialogue but those Decembrists are all wearing Russian dark green uniforms. So I dab some of my mixture onto paper, let it dry then hold it up to the screen to get a match.

I should probably be using software for this, an Eyedropper tool to get the RGB values perhaps, but I kind of like the old fashioned method. It reminds me of the good old days when we didn't have much hobby paint and I used a mixture of Rose Miniatures paint and Pelikan Plaka. We didn't have dropper bottles either, I used to store my paint mixtures in 35mm film canisters. Golden days...

Mr. Edwards is correct in my opinion. We live in a time of abundance for miniatures. The Russians, the Italians, the French, the Spanish, my distant British brothers and others. Of course most of us will not live long enough to paint them all.
